john boehner initially said, listen, president, it's time fur to lead. that's what you saw in that press conference, the president saying look at the map, look at my victory and get what and, oh, yeah, guess what, i've won. >> we've officially renamed the fiscal cliff the fiscal curb. it's a little step down and you keep taking the steps so by the time you goat march or april, there's something significant happening but not right away. but there's a tricky thing here. both sides want to call it a cliff because both sides need drama in order to drive the urgency of their position but i'm wondering if at some point the president doesn't soften this as we get into late december and start to say to people, well, on the first week of january, you're going u just going to see a little step. and we will have time to fix it retroactively. >> i think that's probably what you will hear. i think ultimately this is going to be some kind of compromise. the fiscal cliff, it would be about $6 hup billion worth of tax cuts. i think it is going to be softened. there are

. >> let's listen to what speaker of the house john boehner, who of course is from ohio, he gave his prediction on fox news this morning. >> forget everything i said about the obama ground game. the romney ground game is bigger and more enthusiastic than anything i have seen. polls don't decide elections. voters do. >> just to be clear, you're guaranteeing a victory? >> no question in my mind. >> for mitt romney in ohio? >> no question in my mind. >> the speaker seems to be saying two things, the romney campaign is more sophisticated than the obama campaign and then also says we have enthusiasm on our side. i think it's probably one or the other but in terms of the enthusiasm question, what do you make of it? is it really momentum or is fauxmemtum? >> i don't think it's momentum. unfortunately, the secretary of state is on their side who happens to be a very partisan individual and that could be a problem. because we're very, very anxious about an honest vote count and honest voting process at the ohio secretary of state and florida governor have done everything they can to discourag
